No /gg/? Sorry, i dont have the initial post
>>62477576
what are your favorite BOSS pedals /mu/?
>inb4 none of them
>pic related my current fav
>RV-3 in Hall 2 setting is perfect for me
>>62477686
Boss sucks. Got some of their pedals (OS2, DS2, MT2 and some stuff i sold and i cant remember). Some of them sound pretty good (DS1/2, OS2) but only if the amp fits the sound. On my new Amp all the Boss pedals sound like shit, but favorite is still the OS2 on my older amps
>>62477576
i need to make a general "battle tune" for my text RPG and everything i make sounds either too minor or too major, and not rock and roll enough. i need something that's high energy but that you could listen to for an hour on end without going insane. can anyone give me a chord progression?
>>62477686
tu2, oc3, hm2, pw2, ps6
>>62478157
E G A
E G A# A
E G A G E
>>62478157
no chords progression but try to create a funky tune and than push this funky tune into bluesrock
>>62478157
Am F Am F Am F E F E7
>>62478486
G Em C D
>>62478480
did you compare the oc3 to other pedals? got the mxr bluebox instead since its more like a fucked up natural effect other than the oc3 which ways oudn "perfect"
>>62478486
the one i came up with was really similar to that

Hello pickers--
I'm getting a gretsch jim dandy modified to play left handed currently. I asked for help with this in the last few threads but got zero responses. I will post results soon because I know there is another southpaw anon out there wondering if it could be done.
>>62479539
fucking retarded idea
just learn to play the right way desu
>>62479560
or get a proper left handed

struggles with definition. Otherwise sounds pretty good. Try playing less strings each chord, especially during the first half or so of the song. Triplets were pretty obnoxious. You fell back into the rhythm when you couldn't think of what to play next for your fill when you should have directly connected instead a few times. also way too many bends up.
i really want a tele, and i want to spend around $500
any advice?
>>62480815

2. get a fret job
3. replace pickups

What's the difference between a Gibson TOM and a normal hardtail with individual saddles?
Can a TOM go to 1.5 mm action? I think setting action on TOM is easier since you just need to adjust two screws isn't it.
>>62487757
https://clyp.it/qip2ort0
>>62487846
generally a tom can adjust well beyond playable and unplayable. So yeah 1.5 is doable. It is easier to adjust a TOM but you can't do an much. Most people don't want to do anything other than match tgd fretboard radius though. For bass it sucks but for guitar it's actually really nice.
>drunk anon is a luthier
>>62487983
>what am i supposed to do about a shit tab?
lel anon. thank you for that
>>62487757
damn these guys are good. recently I've begun to appreciate pop music and dings built just around a vocal melody more. bass really broadens your horizons, eh?
im looking at a surf green squier affinity and the starting bid is 150 new zealand dollaroos
is this a good first guitar?
how high should i bid before it doesn't become worth it?
Oh and, what's the difference between like, say the Gibson Les Paul STANDARD™ and, say a Gibson Les Paul Studio Faded?
Is it all in the difference of hardware and aesthetics? Are they all build by the same guy in the same factory? Or do they get John MacKenzie here to build the Standard and Juan Carlos to build the Faded?
>>62488065
>bass really broadens your horizons, eh?
yea buddy. i know what you mean. when i picked up drums i realized how little i payed attention to all the lits bits of drumming and how it fit into the song
>>62488109
they I thr same factory but they could have different pickups. If they have different pickups Gibson will say so. same for things like radius and neck shdpe. honestly guvsin actually lists all this shit so knowing what you're buying is the be thing you can't fault Gibson for.
>>62488088
affi city I'd not a good first guitar; don't bid. I recommend with plenty of bias my first electric: an sx furrian. as far as tone goes this thing destroys.
>>62488109
They're all built by highly trained cnc desu
>>62488155
So you are saying the main difference between a 700 dollar Gibson and a 3000 one is just MUH HONEY BURST and bindings? Oh maybe the 3000 has a laminated neck.
What..
>>62488249
don't forget random specs that match older guitars that they don't use on current models because they have improved the designs.
>>62488126
if you like drums you'll shit when you hear "fucking werewolf asso," especially live. First band I've heard where the drums carry the songs hard. Seriously the drums are basically in charge of the dynamics entirely for this band. They change up so much that if you don't pay attention to them you're mission g out on 90% of the song.
Also:
>a drummer in /gg/? join muh band!
>>62486578
Charvel's seems like better value
and you could literally buy an 80s usa kramer and have it refreted for that tbqh
>>62488310
>a drummer in /gg/? join muh band!
honestly, you can always be in a band if you have a car and play drums. i never get to play guitar anymore lol.
>>62488249
I'm not trying yo be controversial, this really is the difference. Yeah. it doesn't msk a whole ton of sense, but it's a company this mainstream, and around around since the 50s or whenever. Like Microsoft or other huge companies that dominate their field, not all logic applies.
>>62488249
Do you realize how much time the binding takes compared to everything else?
What would be the best guitar to make shoegazy drone? Here's an example of the kind of sound I'm going for: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCI8exp5JHc
Also any pedal suggestions would be greatly appreciated
>>62488442
Not really but I know its extremely intensive and time consuming. I hate how it looks though, I prefer the raw look of an unbound fretboard.
>>62488506
really any guitar and cheap rack reverbs galore
>>62488442
time yeah, but not labor. idk, when you have prices like Gibson's, its a bit silly to reason with them. Guitars don't cost that much to produce, and if they do Gibson is fucking something up. tbqh I hope I'm not being too much of an asshole for saying this. Gibson has established it's value more than any other brand and it exploits this. That isn't a terrible thing to say, is it? Nothing wrong with that really. Just the market at work.
>>62488543
But gibson actually has entry level usa models unlike fender
>>62488506
honestly any guitar that weighs more than 10 pounds.
I'm not being sarcastic btw. Weight is the most important factor when it comes to sustain and sustain is helpful for shoegaze.
Anything wrong with "Dual-load" bridges? Im gonna upgrade my current saddles to some fancy GraphTech ones, but otherwise it seems fine.

>and its not bolt on

I don't know of this is worth placing value on any more. Do you think it is? I mean as far as quality goes. Honestly I shouldn't be taking part in this debate, pic related. I do think by now neither fender nor Gibson offers much. Machines work reel gud these days.
What do you think of prs?
>>62488669
I tried an SE before but, somehow I wasn't too impressed or too disappointed. It had a wide fretboard I think, that's all I remember. It was quite similar to a Schecter I THINK.
>>62488669
interesting guitars! Each time I've played them I've been intrigued. At the very least they are well put together.

>>62490959
Mine just doesn't really have any presence. The bridge pickup is absolutely perfect, though.
>>62490983
I find my bridge pu to be overly harsh and, for lack of a better tone related buzzphrase, ice-picky. Not in that good typical telecaster way either, just fizzy and thin. Could be my set up though I guess. Pretty sure I fucked up the tilt when making some adjustments recently.
Have you tried adjusting the height of your neck pickup? That was my only complaint with the factory setup.
At what point is it shameful to have only done covers and not produced anything original
>>62491055
Doing covers is like writing fanfics. Do you like fanfics?
>>62491041
bruh I replaced my pickup with a ceramic just because I wanted a harsher pickup. Mellow is what the tone knob is for. Undeniable good tone: http://youtu.be/TRqyT5ByZPQ
>>62491041
I kinda want a harsh bridge pickup, though. I'll try changing the pickup height. I like the sound of the neck itself, it just has little presence.
>>62491055
>Image isn't the one I posted
what
>>62491081
Perhaps covers is the wrong term. Learning songs that you didn't make is what I meant. I don't know about you, but whenever I learn a song it's never a 100% reproduction by the end, especially when the original song wasn't written for guitar.
>>62491138

How thick is it? I have a .88 that looks exactly the same and they were some of the first picks I ever played with but honestly it feels too thin now. I highly recommend the Dunlop Ultex Sharps though, I think I have like 2 1.4s, 1 1.14 and 1 2.0 and I mainly use the 1.4.
>>62491632
here's the rest -power supply
>>62491663
this is the thinest nylon Dunlop sells. It is not .88
>>62491663
>.88
>too thin
Jesus, I just moved to a .88 from .50 and it feels likes I'm hammering the strings with a rock.
>>62491689
Uhh okay, anything thinner than 1 feels too thin unless you're strumming on an acoustic or something.
>>62491733
Are you playing on an electric? I guess it's a matter of preference, for strumming I guess .88 is fine but for everything else I prefer a thicker one.
>>62491774
Yeah, electric strung with 9s. I guess I'll get used to it and it is helping with single note stuff. Just feels so weird to strum with something heavier after years of using a .50.
>>62491733

> 1.5mm Jazz III
Man I started on Tortex .88s... Never realized how much the jump was but I can't go back.
>>62491804
I only jumped from .88 to 1.40 like a few weeks ago and I already feel like it's impossible to go back.
What is it about the electric guitar's construction that make it able to have low action like 1.5mm? Why can't you have 1.5mm on an acoustic or a classical?

Boss makes the best "it just does what it's supposed to do" pedals imo, for people who know what they want without the need for flashy muh boutique branding. That said, their distortion and fuzz pedals are pretty whatever.
>>62490886
Eh, it's more of a band movie really. Barely any gear talk or shit like that, though they do use a cool setup. Also, girl drummer. I want that. I want a girl drummer.

I just raised the pickup and it sounds a lot better now. I was surprised by how low it actually was.
How's your Saturday morning mellow lads? 2/10 on the harshness scale for me.
>>62492406
10/10 it's ok, here
>>62492406
band practice tomorrow, making a /diy/ mini pedalboard, adhesive velcro still hasn't arrived yet
overall 8/10 mellow barely harshed
>>62492406
10/10 on the shitty forced meme scale
>>62491893
You can, its just harder because you usualy dont have as many ways to adjust those.
An electric you can raise and lower each string individually at the bridge, for example.
Also electrics typically use lighter strings so there is not as much bowing on the neck, you can adjust that on an electric but not on all acoustics/classical, so its doubly potentially negative there.
Ive got some small body acoustics with lighter strings that play just like an electric.
I'm looking for a pitch shifter pedal that is motion controlled, in a similar way to the Zvex probes. No such thing seems to exist, only stompboxes and Wah-styled pedals. Does anyone on /gg/ know where I can get such a thing?
I realized why he is so good. In earlier performances he plays like most people do, staying safely within what he is capable of doing well with out risk. But later on in his career, he stopped playing music, he began to channel it, and was no longer limited by the need to hide the extents of his skill, he did his limit and messed up sometimes or sounded like crap sometimes, but he didn't even care, because he wasnt playing music to us, he was showing it to us.

Digitech Whammy
>>62492653
That's harsh, try to mellow.
>>62492840
That's just a standard wah style pedal, what I want is something that's controlled by how close your hand/foot is to the sensor.
So basically, an electric guitar setup should compromise of,
Action adjustment
Intonation setting
Neck relief correction
Frets polishing
Fretboard cleaning
Anything more that I left out on?
>>62492900
Pickup height adjustment.
>>62492934
Okay add on that to the list, a setup is just turning of Allen, hex and screws. Why do people pay other people to do that lol
>>62492796
Electro-Harmonix Slammi is close to what you're looking for
thoughts on rocksmith?
Are there single coils that sound like the p-90, or at least close to it?
>>62492900
Fret leveling, if it is needed.
>>62493376
>rocksmith
Every fucking thread.
>>62493453
P-90's are single coils.
>>62493483
What's wrong with it?
See:

>>62493500
strat replacement single coils, I mean.
>>62493453
single coiled P90s actually do exist but they're really hard to come by.
>>62493631
You can get single coil sized humbuckers.
>>62492900
I also clean pots and polish the whole body if needed. Some people also put on new strings
post epin guitar forum posts
>>62493682
jeez, and that's my question, what single coil sized pups sound like p-90
>>62493372
I'm looking for something that would essentially allow me to play my guitar like a Theremin, the Slammi doesn't quite do that.
>>62493753
Find out yourself, retard. Seymour Duncan make like three different kinds so find which one you like.
>>62493774
Get a slide?
>>62492872
Why?
Just build an expression pedal that does what you want and hook it to a pitch shifter
>>62493803
Not quite the kind of control I'm looking for, like I said I want to control it based on how close I place my hand to the pedal.
Which one, /gg/?
>>62493829
Unfortunately I can't find an expression pedal that is motion controlled.
>>62493780
>Find out yourself, retard
No, you find it for me, twat.
>>62493901

The guy's a nutbag, but make amazing pedals
>>62493909
rocking a pedal with your foot is motion control, anon
>>62494010
But I'm not going to be playing it with my foot. The plan is to stick in onto my guitar and control it with my arm while using a note sustainer of some sort, as such a Wahwah styled pedal would make things more cumbersome.
>>62491678
I'm so glad I got ear plugs the other day. Everything sounds so much better when I'm playing at higher volumes with ear pro than comfortable volumes without.
>>62493909
My Google-Fu brought me this but you're gonna be paying a retarded amount of money for what you want imho.

Did you even read the post?
>>62494067
Don't think he wants this
I suggested he tape this to his foot last thread and didn't get a response tbqh
>>62494067
This seems quite complex to use from what I'm seeing, but is there an expression pedal that would allow me to give smooth glissandos that aren't bound to the 12 tone scale? If there isn't it would render this redundant
>>62494216

>>62493909
i think the easiest way to do this is buy a expression pedal, replace the pot with a self built theremin and then hook that up to the pot that controls the pitch on your pitch shifter pedal.
its a shitton of work especially if you have no experience, and will eventually sound no different from using your foot to control a foot pedal
>>62494444
holy mother of digits
that seems rather complex, what are the parts I'd need? And how would I put it together?
>>62494412
tis alright family I was only memeing :^)
>>62494444
>replace the pot with a self built theremin
moog has a theremin-like instrument that can use midi
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZVIHIjG9_A
>>62494497
the more i look into this the less i understand.
but take a look at this >>62494626 and maybe midi is the right way to go.
This is going to be a lot of work for something that can really be made easier by doing something else.
If you want to
>"control it with my arm while using a note sustainer of some sort, as such a Wahwah styled pedal would make things more cumbersome."
you should maybe look into sustainer pickups made by hernandez (i think). They replce your need for a note sustainer bc its build in, frees up your hand. That way you really just play guitar like normal and the expression pedal, operated by your foot, shouldnt be too cumbersome
>>62490886
what's that?
>>62494814
Scott Pilgrim vs The world
noob question I'm practising basic pentatonic scales right now and transitioning from A string to high E string feels awkward on the pinky. Do I let the pinky touch the other strings or do I have to make a big arch over the other strings?
>>62494885
thanks
>>62494928
not entirely sure what you mean, but maybe this helps:
-play with as little effort as possible unless there are notes that should be heard, but you arent hearing.
does this help??
>>62478157
If you're going for JRPG style, do some high tempo thing with a driving 8th note bass rhythm thing with guitars playing melodies over it. Maybe do the Iron Maiden thing and do
E5 > C5 > D5
or E5 > B5 > C5 > D5
with melodies on top.
If you want to jazz it up a bit, as many Japanese composers seem wont to do, throw in some 2 5 1's or some shit. idk
>>62495026
kinda. It just that going to that part of the scale is a bit sloppy while I could play the other strings at a reasonable tempo.
>>62495138
this is good advice
>>62495200
btw when you say high E do you mean the notes are high relative to pitch or the string is high relative to the ground?
>>62495252
The thickest string
>>62495340
oh okay.
If its really gets in your way when playing maybe play that specific note on the A string.
For now it might work to every now and then start of your practice routine with a pinky exercise. Make sure the palm of you hand is cleared from the neck to give you enough clearance, play real slow so that every move is a conscious one.
and the high E string is usually the thinnest one ;)
Got a squier stray today and an unexpected gift was every Justinguitar DVD. I've done the first few chords and so far he seems like a good teacher. Is he consistently good or are there things to be aware of? Does he have any aspects you disagree with?
>>62495501
Oh shit my bad. Thanks!
>>62494928
You mean the low E string. You can let the pinky rest against the other strings, and often it is desirable to do so, as it mutes the strings it's resting against.
>>62495519
He's a bit inconsistent with putting chord/scale diagrams in his videos and it's annoying. I just use a chord book at this point and I don't really get scales outside of the chromatic ones and their modes that cover the whole neck.

feelin pretty mellow honestly. 7/10 unharshed
>>62495519
dont know the guy so i just checked out his website and its full of the most ludacris BS ive ever seen. This one i laughed at the hardest
>>62495633
but he actually said that on his blog??
u ok famalam?
Digital or analog delay?
>>62495704
when, and why would he then delete it afterwards?
>>62495519
Imo his beginners course is pretty great but I would still suggest you find a personal teacher so that you won't develop bad habits from learning by yourself if you could afford it.
>>62495633
What's wrong with that? He's a universally lauded person. I only asked because people recommended not using the game Rocksmith as it teaches bad habits and I wanted to make sure Justin didn't have any quirks.
>>62493984
this, fucking so good.
>>62495803
fine if you like his method, i can stomach people who lie about endorsements
Hey /gg/ can you give me a hand?
I picked up this mij ibanez strat the other day, and it has this writing on it.
Anyone know what it is?
>>62494733
Basically what I want is a proximity based pitch shifter that doesn't gridlock according to the standard 12 tone scale.
I've already planned on getting the Fernades, it's basically part 2 of this rather complicated system,
>>62496094
dude, a digitech whammy does that, start with that bc to make a hand operated one is gonna give you such a headache
>>62496413
Is it really going to be a pain in the ass to turn the Whammy's wah-style to a proximity based detector or will it be fairly easy?
>>62496413
Speaking of the DigiTech whammy, does transit well with small range, like maybe 2 cents up?
>>62496472
okay so i only have a limited understanding so i might be wrong, but im looking at it like this:
-the pedal on the whammy operates a pot. A pot is a variable resistance, so your limiting a signal going thru it. So your resistance is somewhere between 0 (fully open) and 500 Kohms (guessing reistance bc i dont have an open whammy and im not good enough at reading schematics that arent specifically for guitarists)
the theremin outputs a weak signal.
I dont know how to convert the signal into a resistance. So im stumped right there, maybe another anon knows more than me and can help.... but at this point thats the sticking point for me.
>>62496475
i dont know for sure and i cant find this info anywhere
that being said, i used to have a digitech multi effect pedal and i remember trying out the whammy on a very small range (i think it was a major second) and i couldnt hear the steps when using the pedal, the increments were too small for me to hear. No idea how that translates to cents bc ive never really looked into it in that much detail
Anyone tried playing electric counterpoint? Seems easy enough.

>>62497749
Why do people buy 3000 dollars Gibsons again. Do they jack off to their Les Paul?
>>62497646
i tried it once when i first got a looper and i kept stuffing up on timing, might try it again some time

>gibson have been consistanly at the top of their game since the late 50s
>why else do so many pros play them

>>62493901
Snarling Dogs :^)
>>62497867
Are you supposed to play all the 'delays', or use an actual delay pedal? I would assume the former.
It's going to be a bitch to record 13 parts too.
>>62497828
There's very few people who play Les Pauls who want to be original. They want to emulate their favorite guitarists who played LPs (back when Gibson wasn't complete shit) and they think that if they spend $4500 then they'll automatically sound like Clapton, Page, etc.
>>62497892
no delay, but a looper. I prrety much just saved the first bar and then when i wanted to play the piece i would play it and add layer by layer.
>>62498069
>if they spend $4500 then they'll automatically sound like Clapton, Page, etc.
i hate how so many guitarists think that tone comes from expensive shit
>>62498185
Or maybe they just want the real thing and the colour they want isn't on the cheaper LPs, or something. I'm so glad I'm a Fender kind of guy, but I do want an ES-175 and those are expensive as fuck.
>>62494106
Some amps require being played loud to get certain sounds, especially valve amps.
>>62497006
Ok, so they're not really compatible. Right, I'll have to find another way then.
